Earth Class

“There is something to be said about learning to connect to Mother Earth. It is something more than magic, it is spiritual and loving. It is not just mythical but also empowering to be alert to: the subtle change in the wind, the switch of the tides, smells of each season, plant or tree, the change before and after the rain. The sounds they make as living entities expressing themselves to you, is powerful.”
Betty Jean Johnson You are invited to spend a day with Betty learning about deepening our connection with Earth. Her nature based wisdom is rooted in her Makah and Lummi Native tradition. Betty Jean Johnson's Indian name is Hedapul, which means “oldest one”. Betty was taught to connect with Mother Earth at a young age by her great-grandmother who lived to be 103. Betty’s grandparents stressed the importance of learning from nature. She was always told that the greatest teacher in the world is Mother Earth! Betty is an artist, teacher, mother, grandmother, wife, and first generation college graduate with a Bachelors degree in fine arts and minor in Indigenous Liberal Studies, from the Institute of American Indian Arts Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her art works focus on the environment and can be seen at studio 112 in the Lummi Te.Ti.Sen. Center studio. Place: Stillpoint at Beckside Spirituality Center, 1625 Huntley Road, Bellingham Date and Time: Saturday, September 7th, 9:00am to 3:30pm Fee: $55.00 (Partial scholarship/work exchange available) |

Fall Thursday Night Series: Courageous Conversations
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” Anais Nin
The emerging realization that climate change is becoming a destructive reality, not just a crisis, is bringing a sense of profound disorientation for many people. More and more religious leaders are teaching that we have a moral responsibility to engage in climate action.
Our Fall Thursday Night Series will be a collaborative engagement in questions related to the foundational connection between our personal and collective spiritual journey and the climate crisis.
This series will be held on 4 consecutive Thursdays, starting October 17th.
The facilitation of this series will be the shared experience of the group, guided by Peggy Allen, Linda Conroy, Marguerite Johnson, Denise Plaisier and Summer Starr, the Stillpoint discernment team.
There will not be a specific book to read for this series.
Date and Time: Thursday, October 17, 24, 31 and November 7 from 7pm to 9pm.
Place: Stillpoint at Beckside, 1625 Bellingham, WA
Cost: $65.00 for the 4 week series
